BA passengers face more chaos as union challenges strike ban

Share via

British Airways passengers are again facing the cancellation of hundreds of
flights after the Unite union moved to overturn an emergency injunction that
has blocked the longest strike in the airline’s history.

Three Court of Appeal judges will give their decision tomorrow morning on
whether to overturn Monday’s legal decision to grant BA an injunction
preventing industrial action by its cabin crews.

Lord Judge, the Lord Chief Justice, sitting with Lord Neuberger, the Master of
the Rolls, and Lady Justice Smith, retired yesterday to consider their
ruling after a short hearing at the Court of Appeal called by Unite.
